Aptare Tackles Capacity Management

CAMPBELL, Calif. -- APTARE, Inc., a leading provider of Web-based storage reporting and management software, today announced a new release of it enterprise storage management software that expands the company's core backup reporting expertise into the realm of storage capacity management.

With the release of APTARE StorageConsole Platform 6.5, APTARE is bringing its reputation for easy to use backup reporting and depth of predictive analysis capabilities to one of the storage world's most thorny problems: how to accurately track storage capacity utilization and predict future needs.

"APTARE's StorageConsole provides the best of both worlds with a seamless, easy to use graphical interface that provides centralized visibility into the storage back up and capacity management environments.
